It sounds like a problem with the onboard NIC which is interferring.
Have you installed the lastest mainboard/chipset drivers? Is the
onboard NIC properly enabled in BIOS setup? Does system information in
XP show any conflicts or problem devices? In Device Manager, if you
Show Hidden Devices, are there any oddities in the network adapters?
In the TCP/IP properties for the on-board NIC, Advanced button, Options
tab, TCP/IP filtering properties, check Enable filtering and then make
sure that Permit All is selected for the ports/protocols.
